Hi again,
I would like to hear your thoughts about my issue that I raised before but it changed little bit now:
I am looking for right structure and strategy here. ( I am not fan of Negative gearing even I am on $ 100K +)
I have 2 IP:
# 1 – 1 year old Unit with 170 K debt IO + offset with 20 K ( Never valued but around $320 K) Rent is $500/week
# 2 – New House with $447 K debt IO + offset with $0. (Never valued) Split $400K fixed for 3 years and $47 K variable. Rent is $410/week.
So far what I know: that I am stuck with these 2 for a while( cross – coll, bad structure, etc)
What should i do:
- keep renting and put money on # 1 offset account ? ( to get more CF)
- keep renting and put money on # 2 offset account? (to reduce negative gearing)
- buy new PPOR ( Mackay) ~ $400K ?
-
—-insert your idea
Any ideas and explanations are welcome.
Thank you
Hi Devilz, can you tell us a bit more about the house, are you getting the max rent, does it have a backyard that is subdividable? And suburb? Being new I guess you are enjoying the benefits of depreciation, but it still eating your cashflow is it IO or PI? I am guessing mortgage on $447k should be $2700 per month, vs rent 410×52/12 =1780 per month so kind of negative territory, are those figures correct?
hey,
everything is IO. figures are correct. House is 4/2/2 in Narangba QLD. Land is 400m2
Another is to get directly involved in a development project. If you are working with the right people there can be a lot of advantages. However it is always important to do your due diligence carefully

As a general rule pay off any non-tax deductible debt first. I'm assuming you don't have any of this since you have $20k in offset.
Then pay off your most expensive debt. So if one of the loans has a higher rate then this would be the one that you offset with your funds.
Buying a PPOR is a personal decision. Of course you need to think about it from a financial point of view, the majority of the decision should be based on your needs / your lifestyle. After all that's what matters right?
thanks guys
I am thinking to put money to offset account # 2 to reduce negative gearing on Brisbane house.
which of your IPs has the highest interest rate? that is where ALL your offset money should go.

Thanks guys,
The highest is Brisbane one – locked for 3 years ( 2.5 left) @ 5.89
oh ok, well if it is locked in, money in the offset account won't do you any good. unless you have some miraculous mortgage that allows you to offset a fixed rate loan?

as I stated from the start there is a Split IO loan: $400 K locked and $47 K variable with offset so I can put money there.
but $47 K loan and Unit loan $170 K they have same interest rate @ 5.79

If the owners of both properties are the same then it doesn't matter which offset you use as the effect will be the same.

Take the $20K and put it all on black.
hmhm true, because it's cross-collateralised it is ONE BIG LOAN isn't it? and both loans have same interest rate

I know it is bad ( I made enough mistakes to understand that) that's why I am here to learn basics and fix it.
My loans are separate but with one bank and cross-collateralised.
Correct me if I am wrong: if you are with one bank and your loans are x-coll BANK see them as one big loan. (like in my case: IP #1 is around $320K and debt is $170K so LVR is ~ 55% and IP# 2 is around $450K and debt is $447K so LVR ~ 100% where BANK see them as one big loan with LVR ~ 75%)
Hi Devilz
Yes hate to say you are right.
The properties are cross collateralised and not ideal for going forward in regards to your investing future.
Of course with a fixed rate your choices are limited.
Would have suggested a fixed rate with 100% offset account but of course easy to wise after the event.
Cheers
